No property tax increase proposed for 2013-14 ELIZABETH STEWART lib.kmherald@gmail.com
No property tax increase is proposed in the $7.4 billion 2013-2014 county budget prepared by Interim County Manager David Dear. The current county property tax rate is 57 cents per $100 valuation. The tax rate
Leaders tout growth
for the county-wide school district will remain at 15 cents. The early payment discount for taxpayers who pay during the month of August will remain at the current discount rate of one half of 1%. Nothing is passed – and won’t be until after the public hearing June 18 at 6 p.m. at the Charles F. Harry Administrative Building in Shelby.
County commissioners continued their discussion of the budget at Tuesday night’s meeting and heard recommendations from the county manager and Finance Director Chris Cripps on future property revaluation. The proposed budget includes an increase in tipping fees of $44.65 per ton and household fees by $12 a year.
Household fees have not been increased in 20 years. It has been several years since county employees received a pay increase. The proposed budget includes a 2% cost of living adjustment for all permanent fulltime employees. Set hourly rates will also rise by 2 percent. Dear said that beginning last year the county provided

DAVE BLANTON Cleveland County’s economy is barreling ahead on the strength of new industry and business development incentives. Meanwhile, taxpayers are getting a lot of bang for their buck from robust and efficient utilities services to award-winning schools that boast high test scores and smaller-than-average class sizes. That was the message as Kings Mountain and county leaders gathered last week at the annual State of the Community, sponsored in part by the Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce. Two dozen grants – from public and private sources – drove hiring at businesses ranging from Steag Energy (40 jobs) to AT&T (43 jobs) and Solaris Industries (32 jobs), said Mayor Rick Murphrey in the address to local leaders and members of the public. All told, money from the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center, City Industrial Incentive and Community Development Block Grants helped create 510 jobs – or in some cases, slots for future jobs – across a handful of industries, including manufacturing, service and textiles, Murphrey said. Many schools within the Cleveland County School System are fast becoming model schools that are the envy of other districts, according to Superintendent Dr. Bruce Boyles. Class sizes are below the North Carolina average in all grades, and administrators have been able to reduce the dropout rate by 50 percent in the past five years, Boyles said. Two schools in the district scored in the top ten percent statewide, and eight scored in the top 25 percent in tests administered by the
employees with a Health Savings Account as the only health insurance plan option. He said health insurance costs have been controlled over the past several years due primarily to the savings in the HAS plan. For next year, he is projecting that premiums paid by the county on behalf of employees will rise by 8 percent with no in-

Bethware Fair set for June 25-29 The Bethware Progressive Club is currently planning its largest fundraising event of the year, the 65th annual Bethware Fair. This year’s Fair runs nightly from 6 -10 p.m. June 25-27, and from 6-11 p.m. June 28-29. Admission is free and all festivities are held in the track-field area adjacent to Bethware Elementary School in Kings Mountain. “Since 1948, the Bethware Fair has served as a wonderful opportunity to bring the community together for a great cause,� said Bethware Elementary School Principal Jennifer Wampler. “Initially, the event started out as a major fundraiser for the school and primarily served the Bethware community. Over the years, the appeal of the fair has grown to include Cleveland County and beyond, and now it is something that people of all ages look forward to attending.� While the annual fair always features rides, booths and food, Progressive Club members will debut several new attractions during this year’s festivities. Bingo will be held every night in the school’s auditorium, texting competitions will be featured each evening, a display of RV campers will also be available for public viewing each night. Themed ‘car shows’ will give auto enthusiasts a unique opportunity to enjoy new cars, motorcycles, trucks, and 4-wheel drive vehicles, rat rods, and of course, classic cars.

Petting zoos or animal contact exhibits have not been banned from the Cleveland County Fair but Fair Manager Calvin Hastings says petting zoos may be absent “because of time constraints� at the 2013 Fair when it opens Sept. 26 for an 11-day run at the Fairgrounds. Bethware Fair officials will not include live animals in exhibits at the community fair later this month, on the grounds of Bethware School in Kings Mountain.
Hastings said he has been waiting to solicit applications from petting zoos until safety findings were released by a 17-member Cleveland County Fair Study Commission looking at fair safety. “I do foresee future petting zoos at the fair for kids to enjoy but maybe not this year,� he added. Hastings said the Cleveland County Fair Association will implement all the recommendations released Monday to make the 89year-old agricultural fair safer for patrons in 2013. He said that implementing the See PETTING ZOOS, 6A
Will revaluation be pushed back? The subject of property revaluation was on the table for discussion at Tuesday night’s county commission meeting in Shelby. Chairman Ronnie Hawkins said the county is still within the eight-year period required by law for revaluation. State law requires local property revaluation to be examined at least every eight years. The last county revaluation was in
2008 and the next one was scheduled in 2012. However, due to an unstable housing market, it was put off until 2014. If the commissioners change the date, revaluation will be in 2016. Also at Tuesday’s regular meeting the board was expected to honor the public service of Rep. Tim Moore of Kings Mountain with a resolution of appreciation.

Quote of the week...
Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference. —Arie Pencovici
Our representatives DO listen!
For the last several months, newspapers in North Carolina have been defending our position as the most readily available source of information to the Wendy Isbell most people, in Publisher the political fight to keep public notices public. Many in government wanted to change that and limit the information to their own websites. But May 15th, our own Reps. Tim Moore and Kelly Hastings stood up to those politicians opposed to public accountability and led the effort to defeat such legislation. They continue to see the need to keep government actions before the public. These men realize that internet access is not so readily available in our area as those is Raleigh purport. And government websites are not easily navigated even for the experienced. Rep. Marilyn Avila, R, Wake County, authored an amendment to Rep. Chuck McGrady’s bill to retain the requirement that public notices be published in newspapers, adding the requirement to publish on the papers’ website as well. (And capped the rates we charge.) Moore is chairman of the rules committee and worked to help pave the way for Avila’s amendment. It passed 68-41. We commend these dedicated men for their stance, taken against McGrady who proposed the bill, and, at times, Speaker Thom Tillis, to preserve the public’s right to know. And it is clear that the House does not support the idea of electronic-only notices and will not pass legislation removing public notices from newspapers. We are proud of our representatives and think they deserve the thanks of the voting public for doing the right thing, so give them a call and thank them for their votes on HB 755: Rep. Tim Moore, 919733-4838, and Kelly Hastings, 919-7152002.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor: We are well into this Legislature’s session. The Governor has put forward his budget. The Senate has proposed its version, and the House is working on its budget. But instead of going forward together, building one North Carolina, we’re losing jobs, denying investment,terminating service, cutting off the very engines of our state’s economy. In my district of Haywood, Jackson and Swain Counties, we will lose approximately 400 jobs in healthcare by the action of this Legislature denying Medicaid Expansion. Also, over 15,000 of my constituents with the greatest need will not receive health care coverage. MedWest of Haywood, Jackson and Swain - my district’s local rural hospitals - is really struggling to meet our needs. MedWest lost 240 jobs over the last two years due largely to the previous Legislature’s denial of $1 billion to Medicaid by not making North Carolina’s one-third match. Now this Legislature is denying $2.5 billion of federal tax dollars to
expand Medicaid. And in the face of that, MedWest is looking for a “capital partner.� They are in desperate need of resources. Rural North Carolina’s hospitals are in trouble because Raleigh is denying them the assistance and the revenue streams they need. This is typical of damaging effects done to rural citizens and communities. The Governor and Senate virtually eliminate the Rural Center and Golden Leaf Foundation,the Clean Water Management Trust Fund and Regional Partnerships from the budget. These institutions have been creating jobs and building rural North Carolina. After a generation of good work, for all practical purposes, they are gone. There will be two North Carolinas: one urban one with all the attention and one rural left waiting. And we are still asking, “Where are the jobs?� Rep. Joe Sam Queen N.C.

In God We Trust, or do we? Our country is probably the best hope in accomplishing world stability, if we are still favored under God. Beauford Burton I believe we are Guest Editorial rapidly losing that favor by turning our backs on Him as if we didn't need His help and guidance. The way we ignore God's Word is the same as thumbing our noses at Him. Many say that Church and State must be separate and they base this on our forefather's agreement that the nation should not have a state supported Church of a particular denomination. They, in my opinion, never in any way meant to make decisions for this country outside of God's Word. Others will openly admit they don't believe in God, and others will try to tell you the Word of God was meant to change as the world “progressed�. Neither of those are valid points be-
To the Editor: I feel like we need a change in America and we must find the solution to our problems. In the Bible, God’s Holy Word, in Second Chronicles 7:14 it reads: “If my people which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.� America needs healing. I am very concerned about the shape America is in. Let God take America back! America is exposed to way too much violence through movies and games. Get the Bible back in the schools and prayer back in the lives of America! We need revival from the church to the White House. I have a feeling that our Supreme Court denied Christ when they agreed to remove the Bible and prayer from the schools.
cause if one doesn't believe in God then they shouldn't be concerned about others prayingand honoring Him; and the Bible was written to be good until the end of time, it doesn't change. News flash folks. We are fast approaching a point of no return. Our elected leaders are making very bad choices that affect all of us in the future. They are cheating, lying, covering up all in order to maintain their positions. Few of them are strong enough to stand up and speak out against the tyranny and poor leadership for fear of their own demise. Guess what! We put those people there, although some may have gained their positions through fraudulent methods, we have allowed them to continue the widespread unlawful governing. Our storehouse (treasury) is in terrible condition. Our government (us) is so far in debt it will take generations to pay out, if at all possible. Our government spies on us without merit. Our
government harasses conservative groups. Our government spies on the media (our only means of finding out what occurs within government). Our government wants us to be defenseless without guns. Our government supports countries that want us annihilated. Our government soft steps around Islamic values but stomps on Christianity without remorse. Our government creates dependency by supporting too many with items beyond necessities. Our government wastes vast amounts via bad management. What can we do? We can pray for God to change the minds of those in elected and paid government positions. We can ask God to guide us when selecting new representatives. We can speak out, in Jesus' Holy Name, against those things we know are wrong. We can beg a merciful God to forgive us for having abandoned Him and ask that He once again lead this nation.

MEDITATION “Marriage is meant for our holiness’
This year I entered my tenth year of marriage. To many of you, ten years doesn’t seem like such a long time. I admit, it isn’t. But in ten years of marriage, not only have I learned a lot about my wife and my children, I’ve learned an awful lot about myself. And I’m quite posiCharlie Wallace tive that in another ten or so years Pastor I’ll know even more - for better or David Baptist Church worse. For those of you that have been married or are currently married, think about your life before you “tied the knot.” Remember those days? They were really quite simple if you think about it. When you made decisions, for instance, assuming you were an adult and lived on your own, you consulted only yourself in your decisionmaking. If you wanted to go to a fast-rood restaurant and grab some dinner, you only needed to consult yourself and come to a consensus with “me, myself, and I” that fast-food would be what you ate that night. You decided how you would spend your money. You decided how you would have fun. You decided many things about your life unilaterally without much input from any other person. Then you got married and all that changed. Now, a simple decision such as where to eat dinner one night has the chance of turning into a disagreement which could lead to an argument which could lead to a full-fledged fight. In marriage, simply declaring
where the two of you are going to eat one night usually doesn’t go very well. When children are introduced into the family, this concept of decision-making is made even more complex. Now there are multiple layers and multiple people to go through when simply making a decision as to what to eat, where to go, and what to do about it. One of the reasons I believe that God has designed marriage, as well as the family, is for the production of our holiness: that of being conformed to the image of Christ by the action of self-denial. Genesis 2:24 describes the process of being married as a man leaving his father and mother and holding fast, or cleaving, to his wife, thus becoming one person in heart, soul and mind. Therefore, by nature, the marriage relationship is a symbiotic one that depends on the mutual agreement of one another. If this doesn’t happen, cracks in the marriage develop and threaten to destroy it. In other words, there’s a lot of give and take. The Apostle Paul put it this way: “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Phil. 2:3-4) Not only is this self-denying process successful in marriage, it’s successful in all relationships. And in living this way, that of putting other peoples’ needs above your own, you are modeling the true love and sacrifice that Christ showed us by his death on the cross. God creates us to live in community and in so doing putting each others’ needs above our own. How have you been doing with that lately?

PETTINGS ZOOS: can, and do, occur safely according to officials From page 1A recommendations would likely involve some costs. The panel was formed last fall after the Fair became the focal point of an E-coli break out that resulted in 106 cases and the death of a toddler. Are fair officials expecting lower turnout this year following the E-coli breakout? Responding to reporters at a press conference, Hastings acknowledged that concern. Another concern is weather. Last year it rained six days during the fair and attendance was down nearly 15,000. State officials said last fall that consistent heavy rains during the fair may have played a role in spreading contamination by washing waste products to nearby parking lots and walking areas. Hastings said the Commission determined by environmental and epidemiologic analysis that the 2012 outbreak of E-coli pathogen likely resulted from direct animal contact and with soil contaminated by the animals at one particular petting zoo. Many of the recommendations announced at a press conference by
CC Fair Manager Calvin Hastings spoke on behalf of fair officials, in regard to petting zoos, at Monday’s press conference. photo by LIB STEWART
county and state officials at the Cleveland County Health Department deal with sanitation measures. County Health Director Dorothea Wyant, chairperson, said the health department would provide training to Fair employees to review procedures for preventing the spread of diseases, one of those precautionary measures pointing to hand washing. Wyant said the impact of the
2012 Fair Shiga Toxin producing Ecoli (STEC) outbreak, with over 100 ill persons, including hospitalization and a death, required an extensive six-month review of fair practices and policies, including risks of human disease with this annual event. Panelists concurred that while eliminating animal contact, including petting zoos, might prevent Ecoli or other communicable disease outbreaks from occurring, most of these events can and do occur safely when preventive measures are taken, the public is educated about what they can do to prevent the risk, and the public follows recommendations. While there is no guarantee that the disease outbreak will ever occur, she said the committee believes that following the recommendations put forward will further reduce the risks association with illness acquisition and disease transmission at the Shelby fair. Animal contact exhibits at sanctioned agricultural fairs, such as Cleveland County Fair, must adhere to the requirements in Aiden’s Law and county fair officials say they were in compliance at the 2012 fair. The
fair is subject to inspections every year and in 2012 the animal contact exhibits were fully inspected by state and local health agencies and found to be in full compliance with all applicable laws. Hastings said additional control measures, including signage and hand-washing stations, were also in place in areas not required under Aiden’s law. Despite this level of compliance by the Fair, he said the outbreak demonstrates that outbreaks may occur even when thorough control measures have been implemented. As a result of the outbreak, the Cleveland County Health Department initiated a comprehensive review of Fair activities to further enhance health and safety of future editions of the Cleveland County Fair, Hastings said. Some of the specific health and safety recommendations include: • Provide a clear separation between all food vending and animal exhibits and animal entertainment. Most food vendors will be located along the main alley at the Fairgrounds with the last food vendor location at the Weathers Arena. Other food vendors will be located along the carnival ride locations.
No animal exhibits will be placed outside of the designated animal areas. • Provide marked entranceways into the animal exhibit areas by some type of banners/gates, etc. with signage notifying fair patrons they are entering animal exhibit areas. • Provide hand-washing stations at marked entrances and exits of animal exhibit so that the funneled traffic will be encouraged to wash their hands upon exiting. • Commercial vendors may have displays within the animal areas. • Locate hand-washing stations on each side of the food vendor strip. • Provide pre-packaged, preportioned food condiments or make other arrangements to avoid public contact with hand pump devices, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, etc. • Consider installing motionsensor paper towel and soap dispensers. • Consider restricting the number of patrons allowed at any one time in animal contact exhibits. • Install underground drainage piping to handle surface water and run-off from animal areas.

county allocation in the budget totals $27,249,570. Capital outlay will remain the same at $1,550,000 and special capital projects will be funded at a total of $1.2 million. The supplemental tax will increase by an estimated $150,000 and the sales tax is expected to increase $59,500. The Sheriff’s Office budget reflects an increase of 3.97% for a total appropriation of $10,569,361. This budget includes the addition of 11 new Sheriff’s vehicles to replace current high mileage vehicles as well as the conversion of two full-time hourly positions without benefits to full-time permanent positions with benefits. Both of these positions will be administrative support positions at the Detention Center. No. 7 Fire District is requesting an increase of 1 cent for a total tax rate of 4 cents. The proposed budget includes a 2 cent increase in the county fire district tax. As the only source of funding, Fire District tax funds are used to support the Volunteer Fire Departments purchase of equipment and to provide required training for volunteers.
Cleveland County revenues, as proposed for 2013-14, include: sales tax and other taxes, 13.2%; permits, fees, interest, misc., 9.8%; fund reserves, 2.9%; federal, state and local funds, 2.9%; property tax, 71.2%; prior year taxes 2.2%; and current year taxes 69.0%. The budget includes an increase of $109,573 to $1,590,573 in current expenditures for Cleveland Community College. Funding for capital projects will increase $25,000 to $100,000 for 2013-14 budget years. The budget will appropriate $161,000 to the Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership to be used in the recruitment of new businesses, as well as existing industry expansions. The budget is allocating $110,000 for travel and tourism with a majority of funding coming from the local occupancy tax. The overall appropriation of county funding for the Department of Social Services is $7,869,324 for an increase in funding of 6.14 percent over the previous year. This increase is primarily due to a reduction in Federal and State funding for county mandated programs and services.
state. Also, there’s a computer for every one and a half students in Cleveland County schools, Boyles said in his presentation. The annual breakfast, held at the Patrick Senior Center and sponsored in part by the Kings Mountain Hospital, drew about 75 local officials, business leaders and members of the general public. In addition to Murphrey and Boyles, Cleveland County Commissioners Chairman Ronnie Hawkins and Senior Executive Director of the Kings Mountain Family YMCA Kevin Osbourne also spoke, among others. The crime rate in Kings Mountain remains at 20-year lows, with arrests in 2012 numbering 474. The rate has been on a steady decline since
2001, which saw more than 1,100 arrests. In 2012 the police department answered 15,927 calls, down sharply from the 22,000 to 26,000 it was making annually when the crime rate was peaking about a decade ago, according to information provided by law enforcement officials. The city’s fire department answered 368 calls in the same year, with no loss of life, according to information provided by fire officials. The department continues to see a decline in the number of severe fire calls. The Patrick Senior Center is scheduled for a $1.1 million expansion project that includes a new reception and multipurpose rooms, an upgraded computer lab and a larger crafts room. The city and county have committed a total of $450,000 to the
planned construction and improvements. Look for more bike and pedestrian trails in Kings Mountain’s future. The city has won grants and funding for improving or adding onto five projects including the Kings Mountain Gateway Trails, the Kings Mountain Bike Plan and the Eat Smart, Move More initiative – aimed at making exercise easier and more fun for residents. The city achieved a Fit Community “Silver Level� from the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund last year. In May, Kings Mountain’s Main Street program was designated as an accredited National Main Street Program. The initiative aims to drive business and promote growth through revitalization and building strong public-private partnerships.

How Married Couples Can Boost Their Social Security Checks Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that there are strategies available that can help married couples increase their Social Security benefits when they retire. My wife and I are approaching retirement age and would like to understand these options. What can you tell us? Getting Prepared If you’re willing to wait to full retirement age and beyond, married couples have several unique claiming options that could actually add tens of thousands of dollars to your Social Security checks over your retirement. Here’s what you should know. Waiting Strategy Before we go over the different benefit boosting options for married couples, it’s important to know that the most commonly used strategy for increasing retirement benefits is to delay taking them. While workers can start collecting their Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, postponing them to full retirement age (which is 66 if you were born between 1943
and 1954), or better yet to age 70, can make a big difference. Let’s say, for example, that you’re eligible for a $1,200 monthly benefit at age 62. By waiting to 66 your monthly benefit would increase to $1,600. And by delaying to age 70, you would boost your benefit a whopping 76 percent to $2,112. Delaying will also increase your wife’s survivor benefit if you die first. Waiting, however, beyond age 70 will not increase your benefits. Claim and Suspend In addition to waiting, Social Security also offers two other little known strategies for married couples, but you must be at least full retirement age (currently 66) to use them. The first one is called “claim and suspend� (see ssa.gov/retire2/suspend.htm) that allows a worker at full retirement age to file for Social Security so their spouse can begin collecting a spousal benefit, but asks to receive their own benefit later. This is best suited for one-earner couples where one spouse worked
NEXT TIME MOM GOES TO THE STORE, WILL SHE KNOW HOW TO COME BACK HOME?
full-time and the other spouse did not work outside the home or did not work long enough to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits. Here’s an example of how it works: Let’s say that you are age 66, but want to keep working until 70 to collect a higher benefit. Let’s also say your wife is a nonworking spouse who just turned 62 and would like to start receiving spousal benefits on your work record. The problem is she can’t get them until you sign up. So you file for your Social Security benefits but request an immediate suspension which allows your wife to claim spousal benefits, without locking you into a lower payment for life. Then when you do decide to start collecting, at age 70, you end the suspension and receive a higher benefit for delaying. This strategy can also be used if you have children under 18, or 19 if they are still attending high school, or are disabled. Each dependent child is eligible for up to 50 percent of the retiree’s full benefit. And, if any child is younger than 16, your spouse can also qualify for additional benefits as
a caregiver, even if she’s under age 62. Claim Twice For two-career couples, the second strategy known as “claim twice,� lets you collect Social Security (at full retirement age) first as a spouse and later using your own work record. Here’s how it works: Let’s say that you are 66 and would like to continue working until age 70. But, your wife started collecting her benefits on her own work record at age 64. You could file a “restricted� application with Social Security and collect a spousal benefit which is half of what your wife gets. Then, once you reach 70, you stop receiving the spousal benefit and switch to your own benefit, which will be 32 percent higher than the benefit you would have collected at your full retirement age.

"I AM WOMAN" art competition winners announced Winners were announced for the “I AM WOMAN” artist competition on Saturday June 1 at the Southern Arts Society at the Depot. Judge for the exhibit was Susan Carlisle Bell, professor of art at Gardner Webb University in Boiling Springs. Ms. Bell selected first, second and third place prizes along with four merit awards. Forty-eight artists from around the Carolinas entered 105 works of art in this year's show. Entries ranged from clay sculpture to paintings in all media. Artwork in the "I AM WOMAN" exhibit is meant to speak to Womanhood, the Feminine or the Essence of being a Woman. First place was awarded to Brenda Beard Bostian of Gastonia for her oil painting "Mistress Mary Imagination." Ms. Bell says of her work “the artist is intuitively responding to the language of color and the act of painting. There is a wonderful interplay of positive/negative space, lost/found edges, deliberate strokes/spontaneity.” Second place was awarded to Todd Baxter of Tega Cay for his oil painting "Purple Hat." “Radiance of

collage “Letters from the Front, 1945.” Merit Awards were given to Jessica Gordon, Elisa Beekman, Lucy Warlick and Doug Knotts. This exhibit is sponsored

Effort to charter local chapter of Sons of the American Revolution gathers steam DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com
Two Kings Mountain men are hoping to stir up a little excitement about history, and have some fun in the process. Doyle Campbell and David Allen’s efforts to charter a local chapter of Sons of the American Revolution are gathering steam. The pair has held a series of free workshops since January at the Resurrection Lutheran Church on Crescent Circle to generate interest and provide education about the charter project. The next workshop is set for June 25. “With the history of Kings Mountain, this is the right place, this is the right time” Allen said, referring to “A Prarie Home Companion” Radio Stars with appearances on the “Grand Ole Opry” & “Austin City Limits”
the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain and the state and national parks that bear its name. It was there that patriot forces defeated loyalists to the British crown in what figured to be a turning point in the young country’s war for independence. Now, 233 years later, Campbell and Allen are seeking descendants of those who played a role in the historic struggle to be a part of something that honors the past and takes a passionate look at the history of the area. “Those that fought on our side, of course – that’s an important stipulation,” Allen says, referring to the mountain men and farmers who opposed and fought against British rule. Allen, a captain in the North Carolina Highway Patrol, and Campbell, a retired hospital administrator, have a little help. They are both members of the Charlotte chapter of SAR, which will promote and support a group here until it can take form and split off into a new entity. But what they see them-
It’s a bigger, better cookbook!
David Allen (left) and Doyle Campbell are working to charter a local chapter of Sons of the American Revolution in Kings photo by Dave Blanton Mountain. selves needing most right now are local folks who care about their link to the past. “Of course, everybody who’s eligible isn’t interested,” Campbell said. Who is eligible? Males at least 18 years of age who can prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who actively supported the 18th century revolution. Campbell, Allen and the organization itself offer some help in the research, but tracing one’s genealogy

CORRECTION – This painting, “Blue Bells” by Thomas Pauley, was one of the entries in the popular art exhibit open by the Southern Arts Society at the Depot through June 21.The photograph in last week’s Herald was incorrectly labeled “Mary Faith” by Mary Pressley.

will ultimately be the responsibility of new members. Many web sites, like ancestry.com, offer assistance in the matter. “People will need to be somewhat invested,” Allen said. “They’ll need to do a lot of the legwork.” The Sons of the American Revolution has no affiliation with the larger and well-known Daughters of the American Revolution, but the two non-profits share similar histories and missions. SAR is actually 14 years older, dating back to 1876. Kings Mountain has long maintained a Daughters of the American Revolution chapter. For more information about becoming a charter member of the Sons of the American Revolution, contact Allen at (704) 739-3092 or Campbell at (704) 7395485.
The Woman’s Club cookbook, “Monumental Recipes II,’’ is back. “It’s been 10 years since we published the first edition and this one we are sure you will agree is bigger and better,’’ said Ann Bennett. Bennett said the book is a collection of 955 recipes, many of them handed down by mother and grandmothers of the community to their family members. At least one cake recipe has been passed down through family members for 125 years. The recipes range from quick one dish easy meals to dishes perfect for a dinner party. The appetizer and beverage selection has items that are ideal for a bridge club gathering as well as large receptions. The soups and salads section ranges from cool weather soups to light salads for hot summer days. The vegetable and side dish section has recipes that you can use with ingredients from your garden. The main dish selections include varieties of meats. The bread and rolls selection has many recipes ranging from easy corn bread to elaborate yeast bread. The dessert selection is filled with yummy recipes and the cookies and candy selection has recipes simple
enough for children to elaborate enough for holiday parties. The ‘This and That’ selection has a range of choices from pickles to sauces. Browsing through the collection of recipes you can enjoy a beautiful photo of a Kings Mountain landmark by the city’s special events director Ellis Noell. There is also a full index of the recipes as well as the list of contributors. The divider pages for nine sections contain color pictures of Kings Mountain scenes. The hard cover was designed and painted by Jack Greenfield. The cookbook committee was chaired by Linda Appling. Others on the committee were Ann Bennett, Betty Gamble, Glenda Shields, Penny Larson, Lois Blanton, Betty Sue Morris and Carol Brazzell. Ann Bennett was responsible for typesetting most of the recipes. Profits from the sale of the $20 book will be used to install a new heating and airconditioning unit in the Woman’s Club house. To purchase a copy call Betty Gamble at 704-7393800, Lois Gamble at 704734-1876 or Ann Bennett at 704-739-7789 or 704-8134688.

Shriners golf tournament set for June 22
Kings Mountain’s Jhaqui Adams is forced at second base during Sunday’s American Legion baseball game with Gastonia at KM’s Lancaster Field. Post 155 won the rain-shortened seven inning contest, 7-2.
Quick start lifts Post 155 to win on rainy night at Lancaster Field Kings Mountain scored four runs in the second inning and went on to defeat Gastonia Post 23 7-2 in an Area IV American Legion baseball game Sunday night at Lancaster Field. The game began in a steady drizzle and the rain came down heavy from the fifth inning until the bottom of the seventh, when the umpires called the players off the field. Kings Mountain managed only three hits against three Post 23 pitchers but took advantage of numerous walks, errors and their own alert base-running and play calling to post their second division win in three outings. They are 2-2 overall. They host Hickory in a non-division game Saturday at 7 p.m. and travel to Maiden at 5 p.m. on June 11 for a doubleheader with the Carolina Heat, a new team based in Taylorsville. Righthander Dallas Conner went the route for Post 155 Sunday. He scattered four hits and struck out 10. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the seventh and Hunter Stinnett went out to take the mound
for the top of the eighth. But before he could throw his warm-up pitches the umpires wisely called the game as puddles were forming on the base paths and it was becoming hard for fielders to see the ball. Kings Mountain scored all the runs it needed in the bottom of the second. With one out, Addison Stinnett, Jacob Withers and Cameron Bullock drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Colby Crisp put down a perfect squeeze bunt to bring in Stinnett from third. When the pitcher’s throw sailed over the first baseman’s head for an error, Withers scored. Jhaqui Adams followed with a two-run single. Post 155 increased its lead to 5-0 in the third when Conner walked, took second on an errant pickoff attempt and scored on Withers’ long single off the right-centerfield fence. Both Gastonia runs - one in the fourth and the other in the sixth - were unearned as KM errors aided their runners along the base paths. Post 155 scored its final two runs in the bottom of the

Steele holds off Howard to win Fairgrounds race
Kings Mountain’s Dallas Conner works on a complete game victory in Sunday’s 7-2 win over Gaston Post 23. seventh. Alex Reynolds was hit by a pitched ball to open the inning and Brandon Bell, pinch-hitting for Conner, was walked on a 3-2 pitch. Both were moved up a base on Daniel Barrett’s sacrifice bunt. They later scored on wild pitches. Kings Mountain’s only
other game during the week was a non-division game at Hickory on May 28. Hickory won 13-1 in six and a half innings. KM managed only six hits and committed four errors. Hunter Stinnett worked 4.2 innings and Zack Hegler pitched 1.1 innings in in relief.
Track Trophies The KMHS men’s track team handed out trophies at its banquet last week. Left to right are Justice Taylor, field events MVP, All-Conference triple jump, and Big South MVP for field events; Jason Dawkins, track events MVP; and Logan McGill, Mountaineer Award.

The Mountaineers finished their season with a 42-10 overall record and third place in the Big South Conference meet. They were also inaugural Crest Charger Relays Champion.
In the rumble of the renegades, Chris Steele made the trip to the Fairgrounds Speedway last Friday night to steal the show and he did just that! Chris and Ryan Howard ran nose to tail the entire race putting on one of the best shows of the year. Ryan was all over Steele until the last lap when a lapped car and a hard charging Howard cost him second place by spinning out on the infield. Steele rolled on to victory and was followed by A.J. Cable, Nathan Grigg, Steve O. Newsome and Ryan Howard. In the Young Guns division it was again Dylon Lacey taking the checkered flag for his third win of the season putting on a great lesson of driving for a 10 year old. Lacey was followed by Haden Vandervort, Jared Helms and Kayla Hollifield. Thunder and Lightning saw Everette Dunlap taking his fifth win of the season three wheeling it to victory. Following Dulap was A.J. Cable for another second place finish for the night followed by Johnny Bowen, Donnie Rhodes and Kris Dunlap.
